The mayor laid off 143 cops during a recession and crime SKYROCKETED.I normally wouldn't cut in but I think that Natalie may want to consider what she will do for safety should the city/town no longer able to afford that strong police presence.

The recession has hurt small business in the U.S., there’s no doubt.

I actually had quite a few conversations with Lonnie Scruggs during the early stages of the recession.

I'm not worried about it, even if a recession hits.

I could not sell it at the time because this was during the recession and I was about $60,000 under water on the property.  

I am specifically targeting C and D class properties because in the next recession, my renters are not loosing jobs and moving to get new ones.

I mainly looked at tertiary markets where a recession is less likely to have a significant impact, and properties aren't too overvalued.

Currently, home values across the city are still very low and have yet to recover from the recession.

It is a relatively new loan product that has spun out of the recession and is part of the new group of loans available in the Non-QM market.

So just my 2cents here, but I think investing in tax liens is a bad idea, especially in a "good" economy time like now.There is much less supply now vs in the trough of a recession and your major competitors are hedge funds/banks.
